I only started watching this show when it came out in syndication. I did not think I was going to like it when it first came out on ABC but I ended up watching an episode late at night. And it was laugh out loud funny. The entire cast is likable to various degrees but are all distinct. I mean their personalities are so different but they all mesh together really well. The jokes are hilarious and so are the situations that the characters find themselves in. And each group of characters seem to get equal time. They have their own adventures but they also interact a whole lot in different combinations. Probably one of my favorite sitcoms of all time. Maybe even my favorite even going back to the days where I used to watch the lineup of The Cosby Show / night Court / cheers back in the 80s. And maybe family ties was in there as well. Each of those shows was funny in its own right but together they formed a synergy that made Thursday nights laugh night. Individually I don't know how those old shows would make me laugh today but I think this show will still be funny in 10 years.

The first season of Modern Family was really well done. The cast was amazing and it was quite funny and enjoyable and each episode was very good
-
So I wanted to watch after seeing clips of Sophia. Now I have fallen for every character. This is a must watch after learning each character's identity. Don't laugh out loud much but this has me in stitches even when alone.
-
One of the best shows ever!
-
Modern Family has a great premise and a great cast. While the episodes vary in quality the season's best are very funny.
-
Eccentricity in the narrative style adds comedic value to the sharp and sarcastic humour written into each of the characters, and the haphazard mayhem that is their family life. I love the occasional looks towards camera too. Flaws and foibles are perfectly showcased amongst the joys and mundanity of ‘normal' life, which is why I enjoy this now as much as I did when it first came out
-
Pretty much a perfect first season for a family sitcom, introduces an extremely likable group of characters who are given surprisingly very smart writing, making the comedy and drama feel as realised as possible. The mockumentary style is effective and nothing in the entire show feels stale. Also guaranteed to make you make you laugh out loud which is oddly rare for a lot of sit-coms.

The satire is awsome
-
my all time fav sitcom, literally can change your mood in 2 minutes

I love this series, never laughed so much. The old seasons even have a relatively modern humor for the fact that the series was released in 2009. Watched the first episode and knew I was going to watch all 250 episodes.
